After saying last month it's a pain in the a r s e to keep chasing nectar for points, this week without even chasing I've had 3 Virgins and am now fully up to date :)

I agree, I keep needing to chase, none for me, could someone confirm whether these are from October or November's bonus? TIA

Bought 5 for £1 chocs in A today but discount didn't come off. When CS checked the offer wasn't on the Buttons and Caramel Freddo. SEL's said they should have so refund plus gift card!

Between me getting out of bed and firing up the steam driven main computer these went out of stock
Possibly they might be in big stores

But I tried to do my big order anyway. marks premier club sent me a £15 off beauty voucher to use by the 17th and there were a few things I wanted. But the code didn't work and so I read the terms and conditions on the back and it does not apply to 50% off things
So I might as well go into store and just get perfume to use it up.

OH, I can also find things to use my £5 android pay vouchers as well

Quick...back in stock....just managed to order!!!

That's annoying for you.

I had to be out by just after 7 today so was able to order at silly-o-clock, just a pity it wouldn't come off those £6 slippers, I did try.

I am pleased they still do those slippers as I gave some as a gift during the year.

Yes I think when we were getting £5 off various things at least once a month I was checking just after midnight and I also had a few possible things in my saved basket so I could just add them.
I think they will have a few arguments at the tills when people try to buy the £6 slippers and the £5 does not come off

The £5 shoes is on mine and my spare but not OHs account - he does though have £5 off womens tops

I did some testing in M&S one day. Best I could do was use a £5 and £3 together.* You can't add them to a gift card unfortunately.

I tried 3 x £3 but assume £3 x 2 won't work either.

To use on the self service is easy.

Just scan shopping as normal and then press the "Mobile Promotion Code" box on the top right (This is BEFORE you press the button to pay).

Enter the code and it will tell you if was accepted.

At the screen where it asks you if you need to buy bags the discount isn't reflected but if you continue to the final screen it is.

Not sure what gift cards look like at M&S but couldn't you take say a £10 gift card (if they do these) to the check out and pay for it using a £5 and a £3 droid and £2 cash?

Even better if you could then ask to top up the card and pay for the top up using droid vouchers....

Could be same basket today if the prices against M haven't been updated. And the Bites vs M could be both versions, whereas vs W it is just the BBQ Maple. However, it is a risk as we are running up against a price collection update - although those have been coming in late recently. I always say don't shop on Tuesday, only to be told that M prices haven't been updated yet on the last several occasions - now I bet, now I've mentioned it, this is the first time they'll be updated and the whole thing fail:rotfl:. Best keep an eye on M prices on the APG, on wombles and all shops including those that aren't vs M, and if it's not updating, it may be good to go. We should know, if someone tries Kettle Bites vs W, as the M mbuy will still be appearing on the M side of the comp. if the M prices haven't been updated (or if, very unlikely, half their M stores yesterday hadn't changed their SELs and were still showing what seems to me the now expired offer).

At the time you posted, unfortunately I didn't see your post:(, this would almost certainly have worked against M in the same basket (as long as enough items overall bought), at least on some Kettle £1.50s for M that have been known to be comparing and at least on the BBQ Maple bites that were known to have picked up the M pricing (don't know whether the other version was picked up as the shop at the time was, sensibly, targetted vs W but it should have been), as the prices for M would not have been updated yesterday.

If people are thinking of getting the Plenty Decorated Kitchen Roll, posted above, I would leave this off as it should be going to £2 M soon - and, if you are hoping prices are not updated for the Kettles, you would not be getting updated Plenty Kitchen Roll. This item will be put onto the M list (pleased to see A's price is quite high:D) but those items, that will be in bold, won't work and need to wait for at least one (hopefully just one) APG update.

The CS is at Mr T not SADA so I don't think it is an APG thang but a brand match thang hence the need for separate baskets - please correct me if I am getting it wrong?

Bargaingeek

There are 19 items on my msm but on 17 on my Asda.com does that mean the 2 items may be triggers if I can find them in store !


The 2 comparisons I can find are :
Guylain Seashells A £4.50 M £3.50
Ferrero Rocher (16) A £4 M £3


Does anyone know if this would work ?

You could see what is included in the offer instore and if there are any not showing in the offer online using A or MSM apps to help narrow it down - the range is significantly reduced this year. It then relies on getting a good match against TSW or M to make it worthwhile.

A’s attention seems to have switched to gift sets this year, which is great but glitchy chocolates too would have been even better .
